Fly Away Chords

(ver. 1)
Indigo Girls
G                C     G                 C
Fly away little bird, any place in this open-mouthed world
G                      D                C                  D
begs to be fed like a bed that beckons you, but you won't rest
G                    C       G                            C
Everyone's got a need to go, most of us stick with our row to hoe
         Em             D                       C                D
but not you, you're the black crow, with a straight line, and no time, for the 
   C                D                G               C 
birds of prey who wreck your nest, twice your size, steal your best, they 
  C                Am                D 
sent you on this course of your collision
         G              D               C                D
I am a stop along your way, I am the words you'll never say, I crossed the 
G                 D              Am                 D
great beyond of fear, opened my eyes, and saw us there 
         C                   D
what a view, you went there too
G                C              G                 C
Fly away little bird, find the song in you that no one's heard
G                             D              C                           D
strengthen your wings as you sing your solo flight, through this short life
G                       C                 G                   C 
everyone's got a deep regret, we try to ground ourselves to forget
          G                   D                 C              D
but your race to the end is neck and neck, you love them, you love them not
        C               D                G                C
the birds of prey who wreck your nest, twice your size, steal your best
      C                 Am              D
they sent you on this course of your collision
        G               D               C                D
I am a stop along your way, I am the words you'll never say
                G               D              Am                D
I crossed the great beyond of fear, opened my eyes, and saw us there
         C                   D
what a view, you went there too
     C              G                C                  G 
And all along your chosen path, are window panes and sheets of glass
      C                  G
that you won't see, you fly too fast
     C              D 
one day it will be over
G                 C          G            C 
Fly away little bird, the saddest song I ever heard
         G                           D
was the one that I wrote you in my heart
            C               D 
that never made it to the world
